Chapter 446
446: Killing the Enemy
Even after three years, when Han Shuo’s voice sounded again, sacred knight Blount could tell exactly who this man, whose back he had been string at, was.
Blount’s humiliating defeat in their battle all those years ago had undoubtedly left a lasting impression on him. For Blount, the fight ended most shamefully, truly the lowest moment of his life. For the three years that followed, Blount, who was still recovering from his injuries, could not help but think about Han Shuo. Now that Han Shuo stood right in front of him once again, Blount, a ruthless murderer with a particular aversion to infidels, was unable to control his expression.
“You!” yelled Blount in a voice dripping with hatred. Blount clasped a shiny golden spear tightly in the palm of his hand. His veins were popping out. His grip grew tighter and tighter, as though he were trying to break the spear in two. It was obvious how deeply rooted the hatred was in his heart.
Han Shuo nodded in acknowledgement. Carrying a sinister grin on his face, he said, “We meet again!”
“Lord Blount, who is this child?” The talkative magus was puzzled. He could not understand why a sacred knight such as Blount himself, one of majestic status within the Church of Light, would be acquainted with an obviously immature and inexperienced brat.
“You, you two know each other?” muttered Elizabeth, who was paralyzed under Han Shuo’s foot and could do so much as twitch a finger. She looked at Han Shuo, bewildered.
“Hahah, of course!” Han Shuo replied, smiling ominously. Without turning his head, Han Shuo waved his hand and patted Elizabeth on the shoulder. Suddenly, the energy within her that shackled her body disappeared. “Your body of divine favor can absorb the sacred energy from their bodies. How intriguing. Today is your lucky day. Perhaps you may even get to absorb the holy energy of a sacred knight. Elizabeth, be sure to seize the opportunity!” Han Shuo said to Elizabeth in a strange tone as she rose to her feet behind him. Han Shuo’s gaze was fixed on Blount.
Elizabeth stared at the sacred knight Blount who looked as though he was facing against a great rival. A thought suddenly occurred to her. She pointed at Han Shuo and said in an appalled tone, “You, you are that necromancer from the Lancelot Empire, aren’t you? I’ve heard about you before. You single-handedly defeated Blount and his men? Oh my! It really is you!”
Elizabeth, an infidel the Church of Light had been hunting tirelessly, surely kept with the news. And of course she would often inquire about those like herself, wanted dead by the Church of Light. The battle for Ossen City three years prior was the single greatest setback the Church of Light had suffered in recent years. The news of this event, propagated by certain parties with differing intentions, had spread across many countries.
Peng! A punch broke through layers of spear shadows and Han Shuo quietly withdrew his fist. Sacred knight Blount’s hand movements suddenly froze. A series of Pi Li Pa La fracturing sounds emitted from his body. Blount stood blankly before collapsing to the ground.
Under Elizabeth’s dumbstruck gaze, out from the ground on which sacred knight Blount laid, a foolish-looking zombie warrior emerged. The zombie had on an unusual, earthy-grey armour. The hard ground was like water to him; he seemed to ascend from the ground without any hindrance.
Thud! Thud! Thud! When the strange-looking zombie warrior had completely floated out of the earth, it stomped on Blount’s body in a mad rampage. Fresh blood spilled uncontrollably all over Blount’s body as the life force in his face faded away little by little.
“Oi, Elizabeth, how about you hurry over and absorb the divine energy from his body before he’s dead!” Elizabeth had still been in a daze, but upon hearing this she was beyond overjoyed.
“For me? Really?” she exclaimed like it was ecstasy, her voice still quivering. She gazed at Han Shuo from a distance away in pleasant disbelief.
“Of course. Only by absorbing the divine energy from this sacred knight will you qualify to be my slave!” Han Shuo said, smiling.
“Sla… slave?” Elizabeth was dazed again. Her brain was slow to comprehend everything she was hearing.
“Who sent you to my doorstep to provoke me in the first place? Hurry up and decide! Die or serve me. Make your own choice!” GH groaned coldly.
After three seconds of silence, Elizabeth shot her hand up to declare her position. “I’m willing to be your slave!” she exclaimed, before flinging herself towards a dying Blount.
